Stompin at the Savoy Posted October 13 Report Posted October 13 I discovered that I really like French TV. Just now I am streaming a series called "The Wagner Method" on PBS Passport. My French language knowledge comes from a brief class I attended in college decades ago in order to pass a test but I find it challenging to follow along in French and puzzle out the dialogue. I find myself admiring the way French women dress and their relative lack of makeup! The Wagner Method is a fairly ordinary police drama but the scripts are quite witty, full of comic relief, and constantly tease with sexual goings-on.

Kevin Bresnahan Posted October 13 Report Posted October 13 The Agency on Paramount+. It's one of the more realistic spy shows I've watched, with budgetary implications on everything they do, which is unlike most any other spy show I've ever watched. Sometimes spy/CIA shows like this can get so convoluted, with conspiracies interlaced with more conspiracies topped with double agents to the point you can't figure out the good guys from the bad guys. This one seems a bit different, with those conspiracies and double agents running throughout and yet maintaining a decent story line that seems clear. Of course, I'm not done yet and they could throw a nutty curveball in the next episode. On 9/20/2025 at 6:56 PM, jlhoots said: High Potential - season 2 My wife & I like this show. It's better than the original Belgian version, HPI: Haut Potentiel Intellectuel (on Hulu), which seems to have a few of the police personnel being made into caricatures of a modern-day Barney Fife and has the main character do some really dumb things which a brilliant-minded person would probably not do.

felser Posted 1 hour ago Report Posted 1 hour ago (edited) My mind was blown by 'Interstellar' when I saw it for the first time earlier this year, which set me on a quest of watching many of those space movies which were in vogue around that time a decade ago. Now working my way through this one, which is also really good, clearly gets the silver medal in the category (though nothing touches Interstellar). The most surprising aspect of The Martian is the deadpan humor that Damon's character brings to the story.
